Vintage Synth Repair

I'm sorry, not at all!  I just haven't been able to get to my venerable 
old Tektronics CRO, which is buried at the rear of my shed behind an 
enormous pile of junk that is too unstable to climb over :-(

Your advice is excellent; my failure to follow it is the only thing 
lacking.  Please accept my apology, I appreciate your help.

Cheers,
A.
